Pok Pok

Portland, OR


Interesting place tucked among the neighborhoods along Division. Quite unassuming from the outside, the inside opens up to a bustling crowd inside. Which, is surprising because from the street it seems dead. The smells are amazing in here, I want to eat everything.

So they arrive and the fish sauce smell hits you. Not really putting me off but not sure what to expect. Looks great fried and a light sauce with visible pepper seeds. Let me eat!

Interesting, but I'm not blown away. Perhaps the expectations were too high based on reading reviews.

Wings are on the smallish side and for 12 bucks, that is a bummer. But, I guess this rings up as a classier wing experience.

Cooked well, nice crispy outside and moist inside. Just I wish the wings were bigger. I guess my biggest hangup is the sauce. It was a thick glazed sweet sauce with a hint of peanut and heat. Not a huge fan. They become more candy wings than hot wings. But, overall, it was worth the trip.
